Permissions not being repaired.

Permissions differ on “System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.plist”; should be -rw-r--r-- ; they are lrw-r--r-- .

The next line says they are repaired. There another line:

Permissions differ on “System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist”; should be -rw-r--r-- ; they are lrw-r--r-- .

Disk utility reports both are repaired.

I immediately run Permissions repair and the same messages come up, every time.

What is this? I am thinking XProtect is something I don't want messed with?

Is this how Google patches the system so users cannot stop the constant running of their update software?

Any enlightening response appreciated.

Mac Pro, OS X 10.10

Not to worry, it means you have some earlier PKG stubs that call out one set of Permissions, then a Later PKG stub that gives newer Permission info.
